Service

Cryptography/ZK acceleration R&D

Research-track architecture review and prototype planning for NTT, MSM, hash pipelines and related proof-system bottlenecks.

Scope

Deliverables

Scope is defined as reviewable engineering output.

Deliverables

Typical outputs for this service.

  • primitive selection
  • NTT/MSM/hash architecture sketch
  • FPGA feasibility report
  • prototype plan
  • limitations

Inputs required

Useful information for an initial review.

  • Proof system or primitive family
  • Field size and arithmetic assumptions
  • Memory topology or board assumptions
  • Latency and throughput target

Limitations

Boundaries that prevent unsupported claims.

  • No public production ZK API is claimed.
  • No fixed speedup is claimed without workload-specific measurement.

Process

Engagement flow

The same review flow applies to public IP support, private prototypes and custom RTL work.

  1. Intake: workload, target, constraints and NDA requirement.
  2. Feasibility: architecture options, risks and evidence gaps.
  3. Implementation: RTL, wrappers, tests and docs where scope is approved.
  4. Review: simulation, build or measurement evidence before public claims.

Trust

Evidence and licensing references

Current public proof is intentionally limited to what can be inspected.

Public proof style

af-pdm-rx demonstrates the preferred public pattern: portable RTL, tests, docs, board wrappers and explicit evidence gaps.

Review af-pdm-rx

Licensing boundary

Commercial and proprietary use is handled by direct agreement where applicable.
